Rachel Anne Hachero

A gifted Florida student has been charged with attacking her mother after she refused to help her buy a car!

American Police said 17-year-old Rachel Anne Hachero 'pistol-whipped' her mother at their home when she refused to co-sign a loan for a black 2004 Nissan 350Z.

After the attack, police said the teenager then pointed a gun at her mother's head and stomach and told her she was going with her to the Nissan dealership in Fort Myers, Florida, to sign for the car.

Hachero's mother told investigators her daughter ordered her into a vehicle and demanded she drive to the dealership or she would shoot her.
The pair then completed the purchase at Sutherlin Nissan, Florida, and Hachero left the dealership in the Nissan 350Z.
Linda Hachero, told police she went through her daughter's purse while she was at school and found the gun, drugs, and drug paraphernalia.
Mrs Hachero said she did not want to press charges against her daughter, who had recently been accepted to several prestigious Ivy League colleges.
Officers from Lee County Sheriff's office have charged her with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, unlawful possession of a firearm and battery.
